Sodium Analysis in Boiler Feed and Treated Water
21 Feb 2007The latest addition to the Alert range from Applikon Analytical is the new Sodium analyzer. Designed for reliability and minimal operator attendance the Alert analyzer is perfect for boiler and treated water applications.
The analyzer utilizes the unique Dynamic Standard Addition (DSA) methodology to remove interferences and validate each and every result as correct. The analysis is capable of determining Sodium within a decade and a half of concentration e.g. 0.1 mg/l to 1.5 mg/l. The range of measurement of the electrode is from parts per billion to several thousand parts per million.
The Alert 2003 for Sodium is available in single or dual stream versions and the range is selected or adjusted by changing the standard solution used for automatic calibration. Calibration can be programmed for a user-defined frequency along with additional cleaning programmes where required.
The running costs are kept to a minimum by low reagent use, typically less than 1ml of buffer and 1ml of Sodium standard per analysis, and minimal consumables. Attendance for planned maintenance is usually carried out on an annual basis.
